Different habitats Plants and animals~ Activity 6 Objective • develop some awareness of plants and animals from wider environments Working scientifically • Questioning • Predicting • Analysing (sorting and classifying) • Recording and communicating Background information A habitat is the place where organisms live, grow, feed and reproduce. Many animals have special adaptations to give them the best chance of survival in a habitat. All animals and plants rely on their habitat for water and food, shelter and safety. There are many different habitats on the earth. These include: Wetlands (or swamps/marshes) are areas of land that are often flooded with water. Many animals and insects flock to wetlands, especially birds. Deserts are areas that have very little moisture. Animals and plants that live in these environments usually have adaptations that help them to survive with very little water (such as a cactus or camel). Woodlands often have dense trees, making the ground moist which is an ideal condition for worms and insects. Dead plants are recycled on the floor of woodlands, decomposing into the soil. The ocean is a habitat with an immense number of plant and animal inhabitants. Before the lesson Materials needed • Photographs and pictures of different habitats (optional). Preparation • Resource photographs of a variety of different habitats. The lesson Stimulus • Play a ‘Where do I live?’ game. Keep describing an animal or plant until a pupil can guess where the animal lives or plant can be found. For example: • I have a shell. • I have claws. • I walk sideways and sometimes backwards. Continue until a pupil guess that the creature is a crab and lives in the ocean. What to do • Show pupils pictures of different habitats; for example, jungles, ponds, bush, rainforests, woodlands, deserts, alpine regions. • Ask the class to predict what type of plants and animals might be found in each habitat. • Introduce the term ‘habitat’. Discuss each of the four habitats listed on the worksheet. Allow time for pupils to ask questions about them. • In pairs, the pupils look at each of the organisms at the bottom of the worksheet. They discuss which habitat each might be found in. • Pupils colour the pictures of the plants and animals. • Pupils cut and paste the pictures of the plants and animals in the appropriate box. • When completed, hold a class discussion about the pupils’ responses to clarify any misconceptions. After the lesson Viewing Sample Answers Ocean: coral, fish, turtle, seagrass. Desert: lizard, cactus, snake, camel. Wetland: frog, flamingo, reeds, lily pad. Woodland: squirrel, bird, trees, flowers. Additional activities • Discuss which plants and animals live in the local area. Discuss the habitats they are found in. Pupils draw and label a local habitat with plants and animals included. • Choose one habitat. Discuss food chains. Ask pupils to think about which animals eat other animals or plants to survive. Display ideas • Display the pictures or photographs of different habitats. 24 <strong>PR</strong>IMARY SCIENCE ~ Prim-Ed Publishing ~ www.prim-ed.com
